RE: Is this issue caused by plus?
[off topic]
No, file transfers aren't always P2P either. Depending on the quality of your connection (and that from your contact) and on other factors they go thru their servers too.
As for privacy in regards to instant messages, you shouldn't worry about it. It is not because messages go thru their servers that Microsoft has a team of 'monkeys' reading whatever you say 24/7. They have no interest in knowing what you did yesterday in the afternoon or that you're cheating on your girlfriend or whatever. Messages are not stored at all either (it wouldn't phsyically be possible anyways to store all the gazzilion messages send every day, not even for a short time).
If you're that worried, you shouldn't be using the internet as a whole as there are far more easier ways to 'spy' on you. For starters by infecting you with trojans like the one discussed in this thread. Or worry about your personal coordinates and other data you 'throw around' on the internet. eg: Identity theft is a far bigger issue to consider than worrying about MS reading your IM messages.
